Kolkata Knight Riders’ match against Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Gardens, originally scheduled for April 6, has been moved to April 8, BCCI announced in a media release on Friday (March 28).
The decision to change the date for the match was taken after Kolkata Police and the Cricket Association of Bengal requested the BCCI to reschedule, citing shortage of police personnel who would be deployed across the city for security during the Ram Navami festivities.
“The authorities have recommended that the game be moved to Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 3:30 PM (IST), and the request has been accommodated accordingly. The rest of the schedule remains unchanged,” stated the release.
The KKR vs LSG game on April 6 was supposed to be an afternoon game on a double-header Sunday. But now, only the Sunrisers Hyderabad-Gujarat Titans clash in Hyderabad will be played on Sunday (as per the scheduled time at 7:30 PM). Meanwhile, Tuesday will be a double header with the KKR-LSG game to be played in the afternoon (3:30 PM) in Kolkata, followed by Punjab Kings’ match against Chennai Super Kings in Chandigarh at 7:30 PM.
